Lillian Hellman's 1934 melodrama The Children's Hour, about two schoolteachers accused of lesbianism, was banned from the British stage until 1960. But times have changed and audiences have embraced the L word—at least when celebrities are involved. A recent revival starring Elisabeth Moss, Keira Knightley, and Ellen Burstyn has been a sensation in London, where, Ben Brantley reports, "audiences are lining up, and paying top scalper prices, for the privilege of watching them squirm, seethe and turn deathly pale. Which they do, by the way, most convincingly."

Elisabeth Moss, Keira Knightley Likely Coming to Broadway!
Elisabeth Moss, Actor
We tried to get Elisabeth Moss to spill the juicy details on her love affair with Fred Armisen and her take on Jeremy Piven's mercury levels, but all she wanted to talk about was work. Which is cool, because her job at the moment is Speed-the-Plow, which has been a bit of a roller coaster ride for the 26-year-old star. You'll recall that Piven quit the production in December, incurring widespread snickering, and his role has been subsequently filled by three different actors.
Don Draper Still Sells Laughs on SNL Minus Big Names
Last night's Saturday Night Live had its work cut out for it after the last few weeks. Weaving in actual Mad Men stars Elisabeth Moss and John Slattery alongside host Jon Hamm was a nice touch, but this is a week after the show featured cameos from Sarah Palin, Mark Wahlberg and Alec Baldwin. And it was a welcome return for Maya Rudolph, stopping in as expected to play Michelle Obama and sing a duet with Kenan Thompson dedicated to Amy Poehler's new baby. But that came on the heels of former cast members Bill Murray, Will Ferrell and of course Tina Fey all making high profile returns in recent weeks.
